Clinical Guide to Wound Care

"I highly recommend this book, particularly for those nurses who care for patients who are subject to wounds; persons with diabetes; debilitated patients who are prone to the development of pressure ulcers; and patients with either arterial or venous circulation problems. This paperback book is light, easy to carry, and specific information is readily available about all aspects of wounds and wound care" -Ada Romaine Davis, PhD, RN, CAP Johns Hopkins School of Nursing "Invaluable. I've used the Clinical Guide both domestically and overseas. I usually have to watch my copy so it doesn't disappear on me" -Mary S. Kubitscheck, RN Director of Marketing Brennen Medical, Inc.
